Almost 18 years ago (crikey, has it been that long?) we wrote a review of our visit to Transforce in August 2001. It was a seriously hot day, but a great… [more]
Andrew Wildman has updated his shop with the remaining bits of art that he contributed for Dreamwave’s Transformers The War Within: The Dark Ages. The 6 issue series was written by partner in crime SImon Furman and is available in TPB form from IDW.

Less than a week after North America, the UK now has Transformers on Blu-ray. The 2 disc set is exactly the same, with BD-LIve features and all the material from the DVD and HD DVD releases.
There is no word on if a store (maybe Asda) are stocking the ROTF videos like Wal*Mart did.
Today sees the release of Transformers: Animated Volume One – Blast from the Past, on DVD in Australia. Unlike North America, who last month got the complete first season on 2 discs, this is only a 1 disc set containing 4 episodes, Home is Where the Spark Is, Total Meltdown, Blast from the Past and The Thrill of the Hunt. These episodes are in fullscreen (4:3) with Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo and coded in region 4 PAL.
It seems Paramount Home Entertainment are mistreating international fans, with the same disc due to come out in the UK in October. It’s recommended that you avoid this and future Transformers: Animated releases until they are provided in their original widescreen format and come in full season sets.
Today sees the release of Michael Bay’s Transformers on Blu-ray in North America. The 2 disc set was originally due to come out last October with the DVD and HD DVD versions, but was cancelled after Paramount and Dreamworks signed an exclusive deal with the HD DVD Group.
The 2 disc set contains all the extra features from the DVD and HD DVD versions, as well as some new BD-LIve features and improved video and audio coding.
Our Toy Gallery section has been updated with 5 new galleries. Follow the links to see pics for Henkei Megatron, Grimlock, Astrotrain and Rodimus as well as Botcon ’08 Grimlock.
Today sees the release of Transformers: Animated Season One on DVD in North America. The 2 disc set contains episodes 4 to 16. Extra features are minimal, with only a season 2 preview and a ‘Spanish language track’, which isn’t really an extra.

Last weekend we went to AA (that’s the Transformers convention as opposed to the alcoholics meet) and took some photos. Sadly, looking at the photos in the cold light of day we might as well have been at an alcoholics meet.
Still, it was all good fun. If you were there, let us know, or tell us about in our Transformers forum.
The guys from TheTransformers.Net, with our very own table at the convention. Thanks to Sven and Simon for setting that up.
More photos can be seen in our picture thread on the forum here.
Following this years event, headlined by such transformers legends as Dan Gilvezan, Simon Furman and… umm… Duh_Prez, organisers Simon and Sven have put together a questionnaire with view to making the 2009 Auto Assembly
better than ever!
The online questionnaire is slightly different to the paper copy handed out at the event, so whether you were able to attend AA 08 or not, please spare a minute to let Simon and Sven know what you’d like to see next year.
We have today learned the sad news that comedian Bernie Mac has died following an ongoing illness. He was 50 years old.
Mac was best known to many transfans for playing the role of used car salesman Bobby Bolivia in the 2007 live action movie.
TheTransformers.net extends it’s sympathies to the Mac family at this time.
